Good Fu*king Girl by Rory Ireland5/13/2023 ![]() ![]() Would she have been a great journalist, someone akin to the legacy that Christiane Amanpour has created? Or would she have silently fallen to the wayside, fated to work at the Stars Hollow Gazette her entire life? Let's discuss, Yale-style. RT news brings you the latest Irish news, world news, international news and up to the minute reports on breaking Irish news stories and news from around. In staying true to this nature, Rory Gilmore sometimes made questionable choices, but other times would make great risks that occasionally did pay off. In times of great adversity, it's often said that certain things will "make or break" oneself. When she's not peddling smut you can find her working for 'The Man'. Tate resides on the West Coast and runs solely on coffee and tacos. With that being said, it was oftentimes frustrating for fans, as they knew how truly gifted the show writers had made her out to be. For all Tate Monroe books visit her website with Rory Ireland, Banned Baddies Website. ![]() Rory lived a strange roller coaster ride of a life, her decisions somehow always taking her down paths that deviated from her goals.

Rory Gilmore was a star player, an innovative and eloquent writer, and the shining hope of the Gilmores. Although it has been more than a decade since Gilmore Girls ended, fans will never forget the impression that Stars Hollow's golden girl left on them. ![]()

During that time we'll hear a fair amount about hair (including a painful flashback to the time that Ifemelu decided to relax her hair to get that "white-girl swing" and land her first white-collar job). It will take Ifemelu six hours of sitting in a hot salon to get the medium kinky twist with extensions that she wants. That's why she opens her new novel, Americanah, with a scene in which her main character, a young Nigerian woman named Ifemelu, must take the commuter train from Princeton, where she's living on a post-graduate fellowship, into Trenton just to get her hair done. How?įirst things first: Can we talk about hair? Nigerian writer Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie has written a big knockout of a novel about immigration, American dreams, the power of first love, and the shifting meanings of skin color but, as Adichie has said in interviews, she also knows that black women's hair can speak volumes about racial politics.

In Butts: A Backstory, reporter, essayist, and RadioLab contributing editor Heather Radke is determined to find out. A woman’s butt, in particular, is forever being assessed, criticized, and objectified, from anxious self-examinations trying on jeans in department store dressing rooms to enduring crass remarks while walking down a street or high school hallways. It is a body part unique to humans, critical to our evolution and survival, and yet it has come to signify so much more: sex, desire, comedy, shame. Whether we love them or hate them, think they’re sexy, think they’re strange, consider them too big, too small, or anywhere in between, humans have a complicated relationship with butts. ![]() “Lively and thorough, Butts is the best kind of nonfiction.” -Esquire, Best Books of 2022Ī “carefully researched and reported work of cultural history” (The New York Times) that explores how one body part has influenced the female-and human-experience for centuries, and what that obsession reveals about our lives today. ![]() “Winning, cheeky, and illuminating….What appears initially as a folly with a look-at-this cover and title becomes, thanks to Radke’s intelligence and curiosity, something much meatier, entertaining, and wise.” -The Washington Post ![]() I heart you you haunt me book5/12/2023 ![]() ![]() Claire Vaye Watkins uses transcriptions of her deceased mother’s letters, excerpts from her deceased father’s memoir and voice recordings, and a fictionalized account of narrator Claire leaving her daughter and husband behind for a romp out West. Instead, it’s a fitting way to describe the novel. This leaving-behind of multiple choice answers and prescribed narratives does not only apply to the narrator Claire’s response to the postpartum questionnaire. ![]() And so, she breaks the form of the survey open. Where is there an option for more enjoyment than ever? Why is there no room for participants to express complicated feelings? Theo, the narrator’s husband, suggests she should write a short-answer response. When the narrator, Claire, of Claire Vaye Watkins’ newest novel I Love You But I’ve Chosen Darkness takes the quiz after giving birth to her first child, she and her husband ruminate on how reductive the questionnaire is. ![]() Dante the divine comedy5/12/2023 ![]() Finally, The Divine Comedy is a timeless story about finding one’s soul. ![]() In an even more groundbreaking move, he wrote the poem in the Italian vernacular rather than the traditional Latin, thereby opening the landscape of modern Italian letters. ![]() ![]() Dante invented a new poetic form, the elegantly-chained terza rima, to propel his narrative. The poem itself marks a bold stylistic venture. Along the way, Dante offers a detailed portrait of his medieval worldview, creatively combining Roman Catholic belief with European history, literature, and philosophy, and Greco-Roman mythology. In the regions of the afterlife, he encounters sinners and saints, and he draws wisdom from their evil and virtuous actions. The poem represents a dense account of Dante’s moral sensibilities. In the three books of the Comedy- Inferno, Purgatorio, and Paradiso-Dante lays out his vision of the universe, revealed in the form of a personal journey through hell, purgatory, and heaven. When Dante was exiled from Florence due to political tensions, he began to compose a work much greater in scope than anything he had attempted before. Dante Alighieri’s (1265–1321) epic poem The Divine Comedy stands as the most influential work of Italian literature and one of the greatest achievements of world literature. ![]() Malum amo jones5/12/2023 ![]() ![]() I definitely recommend listening if you love audiobooks.
